Why isn't Matthew included? Where can I get that one? I bought this package last week but would love to have Matthew also.

Note that the Revelation commentary seems to be the older volume by Ford, NOT the 2015 one by Koester. All the other NT ones listed seem to be the latest contributions.Getachew Yohannes

I am so grateful to God to have had this series! Great resource! Fortunately, I have both copies of Revelation, Ford (2008) and Craig Koester (2014)
